USING MACROS
With programming, the
MACRO
key on your Atlas XL
Universal Remote Control can be setup to perform
repetitive, time-consuming operations through the press
of a single key.
A macro can be used to control a home theater operation,
to set a favorite channel, or for other multiple functions
you would like to control with one key press (see the
example below). Moreover, the
MACRO
key can hold up to
three macros with up to 15 key presses each. The macros
are then activated, in the order they were stored, each
time you press this key.
NOTE: If three macros are stored, programming a new macro will
erase the first original macro. Thereafter, each new macro will
overwrite the next original macro.
Example – Programming A Favorite Channel
With so many channels available through your cable
provider, you can program a macro that directly selects a
favorite channel with one key press.
For example, let’s assume your favorite cable programs
are on channel 71. Use the following instructions to pro-
gram a macro for direct access of this channel:
1.
On the remote control, press
CBL
once.
Then press and hold
SETUP
until the
CBL
key blinks twice, then release
SETUP
.
2.
Enter
9
-
9
-
5
. The
CBL
key will blink twice.
3.
Press
MACRO
once.
4.
Press
CBL
once.
5.
Enter the channel number,
7
-
1
.
NOTE: If you have access to over 100 channels,
enter
0
-
7
-
1
. Moreover, if the original remote control
required pressing an Enter key to change the channel,
also press the
ENTER
key after the channel number
(e.g.,
0
-
7
-
1
-
ENTER
).
6.
Press and hold
SETUP
until the
CBL
key blinks
twice, then release
SETUP
.
Now when you press
MACRO
, you will instantly see the
cable converter tune to channel 71.
